Instructions

1. Pour fruit juice into blender. Add fruit about 1 cup at a time. (fruit should be partially to fully thawed)If you forgot to defrost your fruit you can defrost it quickly by setting the bag of fruit in a bowl of hot water. Fruit will soften enough to use. Blend for about 30 seconds on high. Before going on to next step run a butter knife into mixture to make sure fruit is pureed. You don't want a chunky fruit smoothie!
2. Step 2
   
   banana

   Add half of the yogurt to blender. Blend for 1 minute. Slice bananas and add to smoothie. Blend for 30 seconds.
   Banana tip - slice bananas and place on a cookie sheet. Put cookie sheet in freezer until banana slices are firm. Put frozen banana slices into freezer bags to use for smoothie.

3. Step 3
   
   fruit

   Add soy milk and remainder of yogurt. Whip for 1 minute. Mixture should appear to be blended.(no visible chunks of fruit) Pour into individual bottles leaving a little room to shake before drinking. My blender holds about 48 oz of liquid. This recipe will make that much. Chill and enjoy your fruit smoothie!
